Psalms 32

Blessedness consisteth in remission of sins.

Psalms 32:1 {David's. An Instructive Psalm.} How happy is he whose transgression is forgiven! whose sin is pardoned! Psalms 32:2 How happy the son of earth, to whom Yahweh will not reckon iniquity! and in whose spirit is no guile!

Confession of sins giveth ease to the conscience.

Psalms 32:3 When I kept silence, my bones became worn out, Through my groaning all the day; Psalms 32:4 For, day and night, heavy upon me, was thy hand,Changed was my life-sap into the drought of summer. [Selah.] Psalms 32:5 My sin, would I own unto thee, and, mine iniquity, not hide, I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Yahweh, And, thou, didst forgive the iniquity of my sin. [Selah.] Psalms 32:6 For this cause, will every man of lovingkindness pray unto thee, in time to obtain,Surely, in the overflow of many waters, unto him, shall they not reach. Psalms 32:7 Thou, art a hiding-place for me, From distress, wilt thou preserve me,With shouts of deliverance, wilt thou compass me about. [Selah.]

God's promises bring joy.

Psalms 32:8 I will make thee discreet, I will point out to thee the way which thou must go, I will fix upon thee mine eye. Psalms 32:9 Do not ye become like a horse, like a mule, without discernment,With the bit and bridle of his mouth, [hast thou] to restrain him,He will not come near unto thee. Psalms 32:10 Many pains, hath the lawless one,But, he that trusteth in Yahweh, Lovingkindness, shall compass him about. Psalms 32:11 Rejoice in Yahweh and exult, O ye righteous, Yea, shout in triumph, all ye upright in heart!
